Synopsis

Quote: A divine film adaptation from Richard O'Brien's British musical horror comedy/rock opera, produced by Lou Adler and Michael White, The Rocky Horror Picture Show features revered performance by Tim Curry (Clue, Home Alone) as a bizarre and self-proclaimed "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania," and Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma and Louise) and Barry Bostwick ("Spin City"), as Brad and Janet, a couple who find themselves lost on a cold, rainy night. The madcap, musical mayhem begins when the couple takes refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter as he is about to unveil his greatest creation – and have a bit of fun with his reluctant guests.

I can't remember if it was Gabe or Chris that quoted Pegg from the party episode from Spaced, but I feel the same way. My wife adores this movie, I can't get into it, no matter how much I like Tim Curry.

yeah this is definately an acquired taste. i've tried a few times to watch but i just get so bored and change the channel. but hey, everyone has movies they love that many others dont or might not even have heard of so kudos to them. i'm sure they'll be happy to have this on blu.

as for someone's comment on the cover, considering he's some sorta drag queen its kinda fitting what the cover implies. lol

The original DVD was always one of the best looking ones upscaled through a projector, so given that it's had the 2K treatment, it should look pretty damn good on Blu.

The original participation track has been archived on the new edition (entitled a "vintage" version) and the PIP is a brand new feature which gives you the chance to watch the movie with a floor-show, as per midnight screenings. As listed above, at least one of the new featurettes covers the making of this new PIP option, including the casting of it. Yeah, we also thought that new extras could be better applied than covering the making of other new features.

Now if only they could get a certain cast members' permission to use the footage of themselves and finish the "Once in a While" sequence...
